Asymmetric Cryptography – Elliptic Curve Cryptography
In the previous parts of this blog series I introduced the general principle of asymmetric cryptography and explained how one can use the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange to establish a shared secret among multiple parties over an unsecure channel. In this blog I will introduce you to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which allows using shorter keys than, for example, the DH key exchange or the RSA cryptosystem. READ MORE
